Dealers Help me spend my cash!

Nadz · 4th February 2007, 19:56

Having gotten off the phone to Honda, moaning about the following:
petrol cap
dashboard noise
petrol cap
EPS
petrol cap
boot struts
rear suspension
petrol cap

and having spend 20 minutes explaining to the lass on th phone that they were not just "teething problems" that they kept telling me about.

Anyway they offered me a free service or £200 for accessories. I took the accessories- can anyone please help me decide what extra to go for. I have self installed blue lights, door garnish and I have infinity speakers all round- please please help me spend some of Honda's money!!!!

cheers guys

I got nothing from hcs just excuses
mind if they offered me £200 I would tell them were to stick it
still at least they are now saying the car is not up to scratch

To be honest £200 isn't going to get you much in the way of accessories.

It buys you a bit of an ipod link

Yeah snap - Maybe if we had been offered an apology at least we may not be so fed up now.

At the end of the day it wouldn't matter of they offered you £1000 those problems will still be there.

I would tell them to stick the offer but FIX the problems please - thank you very much

can i have the phone number and who you spoke to? thanks.

Nadz · 5th February 2007, 08:29

Gray 52

I called HUK Customer services and they patched me through to the "cars" department. I can rummage the number out if you have no joy when you call.

To be honest I know £200 wont get me much but it is better than nothing and the car still gets fixed

Nadz · 5th February 2007, 08:31

Geoff- I got nothing initially other than the "teething problems" excuse. You have to keep on at them. I like the car but all the niggly probs are doing my head in.

geoff · 5th February 2007, 08:43

I have kept on at them but its a bit like banging your head against a brick wall all hcs have done since last may is employ more c/s staff to fend of the complaints
much better idea would be to fix the cars
I like my car and want it fixed

TTDegs · 5th February 2007, 23:47

I'd go for a spare wheel at £100

At least if you decide you don't want it, you will almost certainly be able to sell it to someone for £70 or so

which ok, is only £70 back for you, not £100, but it's £70 for free

and a bargin spare wheel for someone else

dunno what I'd do with the other £100 though!

sco77harris · 6th February 2007, 06:47

lol NADZ i love you, i called up and now fingers crossed when i buy my new one there going to give me some money towards it,

Nadz · 6th February 2007, 08:21

Scott- love me already?!!!

How much are they going to give you towards the new machine? Just so I can negotiate a private deal?? PS if you could get back to me asap it would be appreciated as I am calling HCS at half 8!!

sco77harris · 6th February 2007, 09:58

i dont know yet they said the dealer will have to call when i am doing a deal

Nadz · 6th February 2007, 11:00

when do you intend to get a new one and will the offer still stand? U dont want them "forgetting" they offered you it in the first place
